snaaake... cool.... another nice one...
its what... your 10 overlay ??...
I guess you're turning professional now... !!

u know what.... you should make a little "snaaake" trademark
on the lower right bottom on your work... haa haaa....

so... yrs later when ppl post your work out for others to download...
you'll recognized it yourself....

nice job....

maybe I shouldn't be playing around with photoshop myself...
(I suck at that....)
just tell you what characters I want and ask you to make me one... haaa haa...

Not to shabby, still a little crowded for my tastes but it's still good work.

There's still a few hands unaccounted for. I think that's his trademark.

Maybe your overlays have a market in gay bars? hehe

(always up for stuff..

You know what kind of image you want in there?
You have any pictures that you might wanna use?

Also,Chuck is the mastermind behind all this artwork business so you should just wait till he posts the artwork he mentioned(venom+spiderman)..

You might like that and use it..

You visit his site in case you haven't..

www.leafstation.com

Chuck,
DO POST the spiderman+venom artwork.

(hehe..we all know what to expect

..your works always look REALLY cool)

You've gone out of gamut on most of your blues and reds. If you blow out the colors too much, they won't print correctly, and actually run the risk of turning grey in the oversaturated areas.

Readjust the image to CMYK for a more accurate representation for what the printed image will look like.

SWEEEEET!!!!

Dude, thanks alot. I just got done drilling the holes for the CP on my 1st Mame cabinet and I'm sooo siked!
Now I got a cool overlay to put on while I wait for my buttons to arrive from Happ.

I really appreciate it.

Now, how am I going to put it on. I made my CP out of 3/4" finished pressboard(the kind of wood entertainment centers are made of). Its got a real smooth finish so I figured I will just print it out at Kinko's(High gloss) and attach it with spray adhesive. Any suggestions?

My CP is 27" by 15" fighter style with a trackball in the middle.

YOU ROCK!

No problem

Tomorrow(no idea when)I will make it like 27x15 if you want.
You wanna call your joystick anything?
As for suggestion,clamp or screw a piece of lexan with the wood.
Cut all holes for buttons/bolts and everything first.
Then unclamp or unscew(if you use screws with finishing washer) THEN use spray adhesive to attach the print.

NEVER EVER attach the prints first then try to drill..i mean common sense you see..you will ruin the artwork(fair warning).
Print on vinyl if you want.Its cheap,looks great and wont scratch easy like photo paper or other paper(vinyl is perfect for this..seen mine?).

PS:Sirpoonga,
I takes more then a minute

.First it took about half hour to take out spiderman from mamestation1 artwork then do same with venom(the background was some weird brown background so no shortcut there).

Then hunt down some cool background and thats it..total time was almost 2 hours..I am gonna use this for myself too(making a small joystick again).

Hey thats cool, good for you. But I dont know how to Photoshop so well. So I think it rocks that Snaake took a minute to do it for me. Nuff..

Anyhoo, Snaake are you gonna post a revised overlay with your name on it? If so can you make it BIG so's it stretches well?

I cant wait to get this beeaatch printed!

I have gotten no Ideas as far as a name for my machine. Thats the girlfriends dept.
Although, I have spent sooo much time on this thing the past month that she is referring to the machine as my mistress.(she's a little jealous I think)

After looking at yours, I think vinyl is the way to go for the overlay. Kinko's prints this?
I actually ordered black vinyl for the sides of the cab from Happs. I will post some pics soon of my beast in progress...

Yeah, you said you use paintshop. It'd take a minute in photoshop. You'd extract spiderman with the extract tool. Use filters to make some cool background, done.

My point being when using the right tools you could do better.

I'm gonna cop a backlash from this, but here goes:

Snaaake may say, "Here we have an overlay by me."

What he really means is "Here is some brilliant artwork by somebody else that I have cut out, scaled down and pasted together for your enjoyment".

SirP is absolutely right; anybody with any real experience in Adobe Photoshop could whip up a piece like that less than 5 minutes. No joke. It took you two hours to 'hunt' down a background like that? My god. Anybody seriously proclaiming Snaaakes kick-ass-ness in graphic design should really see what's goes on here.

Visit http://www.gamegen.com/ and check out the characters section, Spiderman specifically. The graphics are cool - I know, but it's not like he drew them himself or is really doing anything with them. Not to say creating a CP overlay doesn't take time, but is there any real skill involved in pasting pre-drawn characters on a pre-drawn background, then bragging about 'creating' a 'kick-ass' CP overlay? I think not.

Somebody tell me what characters that want pasted on what background so I can be called a kick-ass CP designer too...

...And if you say "Well, then YOU design something smart-ass", dont tempt me, cause I know Abode back to front, and hunting down artwork ain't that hard...

...But then again, I spose we need someone to give the 'noobs' building cabinets something to stick on their CP's!

phantompower · « **Reply #32 on:** March 12, 2003, 05:05:15 pm »

Rasher,

My sentiments exACTly...I have always stuck true to the fact that the real artists are the ones who create this work. It is work to find the elements and knowledge to use an application to manipulate that image, but, in my opinion, the real art is the development of the individual elements.

Some would argue that art comes in many forms, and some consider page layout an art, but I am not one of those people. I have a solid understanding of Adobe Photoshop and an eye, for what I believe, is some outstanding individual art elements.

Thank you for this reminder. I think we get lost in the finsihed products and fail to give credit where credit is due.

Chuck

See my avatar? The classic Dwarf from Goldenaxe! But I have done something with it you see, not just cut and pasted a static image - which would have looked cool (mind you) - but we've all seen it before, and that would have been BORING. That's what makes it special; it's something we remember but not as we remember it. It has a familiarity but is new to us at the same time. The basic design is already done for you, ya just gotta work wit it mon!

okay...take a deep breath...

No one said I drew these..these are comon sense that I got em from the web..reason it took 2 hours because I had to work on the image for a while..you know..brightness,darkness,scaling,make sure both image fit with the background..etc..
Who cares about the credits(man I wish I gave a crap)..i dont really..the guy asked if i could do some overlay so I did(even if its really easy)..
Whats wrong with being nice

I am no professional..Chuck is..

and the background..its not predrawn..i actually created that myself..look for that online..you wont find it because i am the only one has it(of course its not hard to do or anything).
Besides how many of you REALLY would even take a minute to do something for someone..?
Man you are cold..

Relax..nothing to get mad about this..everyone knows capcom created these images of characters for their games..(mvsc2,cvs2,etc).

Have a beer or something..that will cool you down a little..

Besides WTF

I mean when did I ever say doin some overlay is terribly hard or anything..anyone can do this(if you can build your own joystick then this is less then nothing

)
I mean you just come out of nowhere and bashing me around..

errr..okay thats nice

That is exactly what my point was too..I wouldn'y hand draw spiderman then print that out and use it as overlay..
It cost money..I never did any overlay because I felt like doin it..somone IS goin to print this..it costs around $40 for a decent size print and DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO HANDDRAW SPIDERMAN THEN USE THAT AS OVERLAY Rasher?

GET A GRIP !

AND GROW UP ! !

I or anyone else dont have $40 to waste just like that so I can make you happy Rasher with my own hand drawn spiderman !

Really, everyone should sloooow dooown! I am awfully sorry for creating this flame war by asking Snaake to create an overlay for me. I think everyone fully understands where the images are taken from. Snaake never claimed credit for drawing anything. He has stated his characters come from Gamegen.

Heres the deal. I am in the process of building my cabinet. I really dont have the time or the energy to learn Photoshop to do an overlay for myself. I saw Snaakes overlay that he posted and I liked it. I asked him to do one for me. Something I couldnt do for myself. I appreciate what he made for me and the time he took to do it for a stranger. Waddaguy, huh?

Sorry that it doesnt meet some of the ART CRITIC'S standards of complexity, but I and my friends will enjoy it on my cab. Nuff...

Right, like I said, above it just 5 minutes of time but still is a little more involved than your spiderman/venom one.
For the benefit of everyone:
extracting pacman and the ghost from the cocktail graphics isn't hard in photoshop, the extract tool rules!
The background is just two screenshots I took while playing the game. I blurred them, set some blending options for the layers. I should spend mroe time to perfect it as where the two images overlap needs work. Then making a straightline of dots in photoshop is easy. Just select the brush tool, moodify how it draws by increasing the spacing. Hold shift while drawing to draw a straight line. Dots automatically made because of the spacing of the brush.
Hehe, photoshop rules.
